As far as what is being sold I have found this bike (http://newyork.craigslist.org/que/bik/3462801705.html), but is it worth it? Being from NYC I'm thoroughly jealous of the $40 pick ups some of you may come across, so I'm just trying to find which bike will rip me off the least. If anyone happens to know a company and model that is reputably reliable as well that I could look into, that would be much appreciated!
Cheers

Remove the '1' from the price and you'd be in the ballpark for an okay deal.
